**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(Unaudited)**

 

**Note** **1. Basis of Presentation**

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the consolidated balances and results of operations of Trinity Capital Corporation (“Trinity”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Los Alamos National Bank (the “Bank”), Title Guaranty & Insurance Company (“Title Guaranty”), TCC Appraisal Services Corporation (“TCC            Appraisals”), TCC Advisors Corporation (“TCC Advisors”) and TCC Funds, collectively referred to as the “Company.” Trinity Capital Trust I (“Trust I”), Trinity Capital Trust III (“Trust III”), Trinity Capital Trust IV (“Trust IV”) and Trinity Capital Trust V (“Trust V”), collectively referred to as the “Trusts,” are trust subsidiaries of Trinity but are not consolidated in these            financial statements (see “Consolidation” accounting policy below). Trinity Capital Trust II (“Trust II”) was terminated on December 12, 2006. Based upon a regulatory change earlier in the year (which has since been reversed), Trinity sold the assets of TCC Appraisals as of May 1, 2008. Trinity is in the process of terminating the business of TCC Appraisals. Management believes that the impact of terminating the business of TCC Appraisals will have an            immaterial effect on Trinity’s financial results. In August 2008, the Bank obtained a 26% interest in Cottonwood Technology Group, LLC (“Cottonwood”). This entity is owned by the Bank, the Los Alamos Commerce & Development Corporation and David Blivin. Cottonwood is focused on assisting new technologies, primarily those developed at New Mexico’s research and educational institutions, reach the market by providing management advice and capital consulting.            As of this report date, only certain start-up costs have been funded bythe Bank,andnocapital investmentshave been made. In October 2008, the Bank also purchased the assets of Allocca & Brunett, Inc., an investment advisory company in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Management expects to integrate the            assets of Allocca & Brunett into the Bank’s existing Trust and Investment Services Department over the next six to ten months.

 

The business activities of the Company consist solely of the operations of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and            cash flows for the interim periods have been made. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

 

The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and industry practice. Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and            industry practice has been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s December 31, 2007 audited financial statements in its Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 17, 2008.

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and general practices within the financial services industry. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the            reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Areas involving the use of management’s estimates and assumptions, and which are more susceptible to change in the near term include the allowance for loan losses and initial recording and subsequent valuation for impairment of mortgage servicing rights.

 

Certain items have been reclassified from prior period presentations in conformity with the current classification.

**Note 4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Regulatory Developments**

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157,*Fair Value Measurements*. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value            measurements. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this statement will change current practice. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for            fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application was encouraged, provided that the reporting entity had not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year, including financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year. There was no material impact on the Company’s financial statements when this standard was adopted on January 1, 2008.

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,*The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities*, which provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The standard’s objective is to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the            volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. The standard requires companies to provide additional information that will help investors and other users of financial statements to more easily understand the effect of a company’s choice to use fair value on its earnings. It also requires entities to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which a company has chosen to use fair value on the face of the balance sheet.            The new statement does not eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards, including requirements for disclosures about fair value measurements included in FASB Statements No. 157,*Fair Value Measurements,*and No. 107,*Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.*This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal            year beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption was permitted as of the beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the entity made that choice in the first 120 days of that fiscal year and also elects to apply the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157. There was no material impact on the Company’s financial statements when this standard was adopted on January 1, 2008.

 

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48,*Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes*. The Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions taken and to be taken on its tax returns and that its accrual for tax liabilities are adequate for the open years based on an assessment of            many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax law. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits which would require an adjustment to the January 1, 2007 beginning balance of retained earnings. The Company had a net deferred tax liability of $92 thousand and a net deferred tax asset of $1.1 million as of January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,*Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51*. A noncontrolling interest, sometimes called a minority interest, is the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. The objective of this statement is to            improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards that require:

 

|   | **•** | The ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent's equity. |
|--------|------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

 

|   | **•** | The amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income. |
|--------|------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Table of contents

 

|   | **•** | Changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently.  A parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary changes if the parent purchases additional ownership interests in its subsidiary or if the parent sells some of its ownership interests in                            its subsidiary.  It also changes if the subsidiary reacquires some of its ownership interests or the subsidiary issues additional ownership interests.  All of those transactions are economically similar, and this statement requires that they be accounted for similarly, as equity transactions. |
|--------|------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

 

|   | **•** | When a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary should initially be measured at fair value.  The gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary is measured using the fair value of any noncontrolling equity investment rather than the carrying amount of that retained                            investment. |
|--------|------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

 

|   | **•** | Entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. |
|--------|------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

 

This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management believes that adoption of this standard will have no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,*Disclosures about Derivative Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statement No.133.*The use and complexity of derivative instruments and hedging activities have increased significantly over the past several years. Constituents have expressed concerns that the existing disclosure            requirements in FASB Statement No. 133,*Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities*, do not provide adequate information about how derivative and hedging activities affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Accordingly, this statement requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial            reporting. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. Management believes that adoption of this standard on January 1, 2009 will have no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162,*The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles*. The objective of SFAS 162 is to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with            U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for nongovernmental entities. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) has proposed an auditing standard that would remove the GAAP hierarchy from its interim auditing standards. SFAS 162 is effective as of November 15, 2008. Management believes that adoption of this standard will have no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

**Note 5. Stock Option Plan**

 

The Company’s 1998 Stock Option Plan (“1998 Plan”) and Trinity Capital Corporation 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (“2005 Plan”) were created for the benefit of key management and select employees. Under the 1998 Plan, 400,000 shares (as adjusted for the stock split of December 19, 2002) from shares held in treasury or authorized but unissued common stock are            reserved for granting options. Under the 2005 Plan, 500,000 shares from shares held in treasury or authorized but unissued common stock are reserved for granting stock-based incentive awards. Both of these plans were approved by the Company’s shareholders. The Board of Directors determine vesting and pricing of the awards. All stock options granted through December 31, 2005 were granted at or above the market value of the stock at the date of the grant, with the exception of            the July 1998 stock option grant which was granted at $0.25 below the last reported sale price on the date of grant. All stock options vest in equal amounts over a three year period and must be exercised within ten years of the date of grant. Stock appreciation rights granted after December 31, 2005 were also granted at or above the market value of the stock at the date of the grant, with the exception of the January 1, 2006 stock appreciation right grants which were approved on            December 15, 2005 and granted at the December 31, 2005 closing price to take advantage of accounting changes favorable to Trinity. All stock appreciation rights vest and mature at five years.

 

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R),*Share-Based Payment*, which is an amendment of FASB Statement Nos. 123 and 95. The Company adopted this standard using the modified prospective transition method. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company measured stock-based compensation cost in accordance with            the methods prescribed in Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,*Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees*. Accordingly, no compensation cost was recognized for options granted and vested before January 1, 2006.

 

Under the provisions of SFAS 123(R), the Company is required to recognize compensation expense for share-based compensation that vest after adoption of the new standard. The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to value the stock options and stock appreciation rights on the date of the grant, and recognizes this expense over the remaining vesting term for the stock options or stock            appreciation rights. Key assumptions used in this valuation method (detailed below) are the volatility of the Company’s stock price, a risk-free rate of return (using the U.S. Treasury yield curve) based on the expected term from grant date to exercise date and an annual dividend rate based upon the current market price. Expected term from grant date is based upon the historical time from grant to exercise experienced by the Company. Because share-based compensation vesting in            the current periods was granted on a variety of dates, the assumptions are presented as weighted averages in those assumptions.

 

The following table details the assumptions used in by the Black-Scholes model for valuing share-based compensation granted during the respective periods. There were no options granted during the three months ending September 30, 2008 or September 30, 2007, or the nine months ending September 30, 2008. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the nine            months ending September 30, 2007 was $4.32.

No stock options were exercised in the three months ending September 30, 2008. Steve W. Wells exercised 14,000 non-qualified stock options at $20.00 per share in June of 2008 which is included in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 was $62 thousand and $64            thousand, respectively.

 

As of September 30, 2008, there was $441 thousand of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation granted under the 1998 Plan and the 2005 Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of 3.1 years. There were 14,000 shares vested during the nine months ending September 30, 2008 for which the Company expensed            $73 thousand. During the same period, we expensed $90 thousand for stock appreciation rights that will vest in 2011 and 2012.

 

**Note 6. Short Term Borrowings**

 

The Company had no short-term borrowings as of September 30, 2008. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances with maturity dates of less than one year of $40.0 million. 

 

**Note 7. Long Term Borrowings**

 

The Company had FHLB advances with maturity dates greater than one year of $23.5 million as of September 30, 2008 and $23.6 million as of December 31, 2007. As of September 30, 2008, the advances had fixed interest rates ranging from 4.67% to 6.34%.

 

**Note 8. Long-term Capital Lease Obligations**

 

The Company is leasing land in Santa Fe with the intention of building an office on the site during 2008-2009. The lease, which was entered into in December 2006 and expires in 2014, contains an option to purchase the land at a set price upon termination of the initial lease term. This lease is classified as a capital lease. Lease payments for the three months ended September 30, 2008            and 2007 were $46 thousand in each period. Lease payments for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were $139 thousand and $140 thousand, respectively.

 

The Company also holds a note and mortgage on this land, and the payments received on the note are approximately equal to the payments made on the lease.

On the dates of issue indicated above, the Trusts, being Delaware statutory business trusts, issued trust preferred securities (the “trust preferred securities”) in the amount and at the rate indicated above. These securities represent preferred beneficial interests in the assets of the Trusts. The trust preferred securities will mature on the dates indicated, and are            redeemable in whole or in part at the option of Trinity at any time after the date of first redemption indicated above, with the approval of the Federal Reserve Board and in whole at any time upon the occurrence of certain events affecting their tax or regulatory capital treatment. The Trusts also issued common equity securities to Trinity in the amounts indicated above. The Trusts used the proceeds of the offering of the trust preferred securities to purchase junior subordinated            deferrable interest debentures (the “debentures”) issued by Trinity, which have terms substantially similar to the trust preferred securities. Trinity has the right to defer payments of interest on the debentures at any time or from time to time for a period of up to ten consecutive semi-annual periods with respect to each interest payment deferred. Under the terms of the debentures, under certain circumstances of default or if Trinity has elected to defer interest on            the debentures, Trinity may not, with certain exceptions, declare or pay any dividends or distributions on its capital stock or purchase or acquire any of its capital stock. Trinity used the majority of the proceeds from the sale of the debentures to add to Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital in order to support its growth and to purchase treasury stock.

 

Trinity owns all of the outstanding common securities of the Trusts. The Trusts are considered variable interest entities (VIEs) under*Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation (FIN) No.* *46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin            No.* *51”*, as revised. Prior to FIN 46, VIEs were generally consolidated by an enterprise when the enterprise had a controlling financial interest through ownership of a majority of voting interest in the entity. Under FIN 46, a VIE should be consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The Company implemented FIN 46 during the fourth quarter of 2003. Because Trinity is not the primary beneficiary of            the Trusts, the financial statements of the Trusts are no longer included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Company’s prior financial statements have been reclassified to de-consolidate the Company’s investment in the Trusts.

 

In March 2005, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System issued a final rule allowing bank holding companies to continue to include qualifying trust preferred securities in their Tier 1 Capital for regulatory capital purposes, subject to a 25% limitation to all core (Tier I) capital elements, net of goodwill less any associated deferred tax liability. The final            rule provides a five-year transition period, ending March 31, 2009, for application of the aforementioned quantitative limitation. As of September 30, 2008, 85.5% of the trust preferred securities noted in the table above qualified as Tier 1 capital and 14.5% qualified as Tier 2 capital under the final rule adopted in March 2005.

Payments of distributions on the trust preferred securities and payments on redemption of the trust preferred securities are guaranteed by Trinity on a limited basis. Trinity also entered into an agreement as to expenses and liabilities with the Trusts pursuant to which it agreed, on a subordinated basis, to pay any costs, expenses or liabilities of the Trusts other than those arising            under the trust preferred securities. The obligations of Trinity under the junior subordinated debentures, the related indenture, the trust agreement establishing the Trusts, the guarantee and the agreement as to expenses and liabilities, in the aggregate, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by Trinity of the Trusts’ obligations under the trust preferred securities.

 

Issuance costs of $406 thousand related to Trust I and Trust III were deferred and are being amortized over the period until mandatory redemption of the securities in March 2030 and September 2034, respectively. During each of the three month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, $3 thousand of these issuance costs were amortized. During each of the nine month periods            ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, $10 thousand of these issuance costs were amortized. Unamortized issuance costs were $300 thousand and $311 thousand at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. There were no issuance costs associated with the other trust preferred security issues.

 

Dividends accrued and unpaid to securities holders totaled $206 thousand and $498 thousand on September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

 

**Note** **10. Commitments, Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Activities**

 

*Credit-related financial instruments:*  The Company is a party to credit-related commitments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These credit-related commitments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit. Such credit-related            commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

 

The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these credit-related commitments. The Company follows the same credit policies in making credit-related commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

 

At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the following credit-related commitments were outstanding:

 

|                                                               |   | **Contract Amount**    |    |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------|--------|------------------------|---------|
|                                                               |   | **September 30, 2008** |    |   |   | **December 31, 2007** |   |
|                                                               |   | **(In thousands)**     |    |
| Unfunded commitments under lines of credit     |   | $                      | 213,974 |   |   |   | $ | 206,424 |   |
| Commercial and standby letters of credit       |   |                   | 21,101  |   |   |   |   | 20,321 |   |

 

Commitments to extend credit under lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require a payment of a fee. The commitments for lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment            amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Unfunded commitments under commercial lines of credit, revolving credit lines and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. Overdraft protection agreements are uncollateralized, but most other unfunded commitments            under lines of credit have collateral. These unfunded lines of credit usually do not contain a specified maturity date and may not necessarily be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed.

Table of contents

 

Commercial and standby letters of credit are conditional credit-related commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. Essentially all letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of            credit is the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The Company holds collateral supporting those credit-related commitments, if deemed necessary. In the event the customer does not perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement with the third party, the Company would be required to fund the credit-related commitment. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make is represented by the contractual amount shown            in the summary above. If the credit-related commitment is funded, the Company would be entitled to seek recovery from the customer. At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, no amounts have been recorded as liabilities for the Company’s potential obligations under these credit-related commitments. The fair value of these credit-related commitments is approximately equal to the fees collected when granting these letters of credit. These fees collected were $18 thousand and            $26 thousand as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, and are included in “other liabilities” on the Company’s balance sheet.

 

*Concentrations of credit risk:*  The majority of the loans, commitments to extend credit, and standby letters of credit have been granted to customers in Los Alamos, Santa Fe and surrounding communities. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its loans are made to businesses and individuals associated with, or            employed by, Los Alamos National Laboratory (“the Laboratory”) as further discussed within Item 1A of Part I of Trinity’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. The ability of such borrowers to honor their contracts is predominately dependent upon the continued operation and funding of the Laboratory. Investments in securities issued by states and political subdivisions involve governmental entities within the state of New Mexico. The distribution of            commitments to extend credit approximates the distribution of loans outstanding. Standby letters of credit were granted primarily to commercial borrowers.

 

**Note 11. Litigation**

 

Trinity, the Bank, Title Guaranty, TCC Appraisals, Cottonwood, TCC Advisors and TCC Funds were not involved in any pending legal proceedings, other than routine legal proceedings occurring in the normal course of business unless otherwise specifically stated in Item 1 of Part II herein, which, in the opinion of management, in the aggregate, were material to the Company’s            consolidated financial condition.

 

**Note 12. Fair Value Measurements**

 

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157,*Fair Value Measurements*for financial assets and financial liabilities. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value            measurements. Valuation techniques are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about market value. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

 

|   | **•** | Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. |
|--------|------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | **•** | Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable. |
|--------|------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | **•** | Level 3- Instruments whose significant value drivers are unobservable. |
|--------|------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------|

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial instruments that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2008:

 

|                          | **Level 1 Inputs** |    | **Level 2 Inputs** |   | **Level 3 Inputs** |   | **Total Fair Value** |

Foreign currency in vault is valued at current market values in actively traded currency markets. Changes in fair market values are recorded in other income.

 

Securities available for sale are valued based upon open-market quotes obtained from reputable third-party brokers. Market pricing is based upon specific CUSIP identification for each individual security. Changes in fair market value are recorded in other comprehensive income as the securities are available for sale.

 

Derivative assets and liabilities represent interest rate contracts between the Company and loan customers, and between the Company and outside parties to whom we have made a commitment to sell residential mortgage loans at a set interest rate. These are valued based upon the differential between the interest rates upon the inception of the contract and the current market interest            rates for similar products. Changes in market value are recorded in current earnings.

 

Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). These assets are recorded at the lower of amortized cost or current market value, and a            valuation allowance reflects any unrealized market value losses, offset to an expense account. The following table summarizes the Company’s financial instruments that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at September 30, 2008:

 

|                      | **Level 1 Inputs** |    | **Level 2 Inputs** |   | **Level 3 Inputs** |   | **Total Fair Value** |

|                      | **(In thousands)** |
| Impaired loans            | $                  | — |               | $      | —            |   | $                    | 38,392 |   | $ | 38,392 |
| Loans held for sale       |               | — |               |   | 881                |   |                 | — |   |   | 881 |
| Mortgage servicing rights |               | — |               |   | 9,752              |   |                 | — |   |   | 9,752 |

 

Fair value measurements for impaired loans are performed pursuant to SFAS No. 114, and are based one of three methods to measure impairment; the fair value of the collateral less disposition costs, the present value of expected future cash flows method, or the observable market price of a loan method. A loan may be considered impaired, but the value is considered sufficient to support            a fair value equal to or greater than the carrying value of the loan, and no specific reserve is deemed necessary to record such impairment. The change in fair value of impaired assets that were valued based upon level three inputs, for which there was a specifically identified reserve, resulted in a decrease of specifically allocated reserve of $2.9 million and a decrease of specifically allocated reserve of $2.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008,            respectively. This loss or gain is not recorded directly as an adjustment to current earnings or comprehensive income, but rather as an adjustment component in determining the overall adequacy of the loan loss reserve. Such adjustments to the estimated fair value of impaired loans may result in increases or decreases to the provision for loan losses recorded in current earnings.

Loans held for sale are valued based upon open market quotes obtained from the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA). Market pricing is based upon mortgage loans with similar terms and interest rates. The change in market value (up to the amortized value of the loans held for sale) is recorded as an adjustment to the loans held for sale valuation allowance, with the offset            being recorded as an addition or a reduction in current earnings.

 

Mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) are valued based upon the value of MSRs that are traded on the open market and a current market value for each risk tranche in our portfolio is assigned. We then compare that market value to the current amortized book value for each tranche. The change in market value (up to the amortized value of the MSR) is recorded as an adjustment to the MSR            valuation allowance, with the offset being recorded as an addition or a reduction in current earnings.

**Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations**

 

*This discussion is intended to focus on certain financial information regarding the Company and is written to provide the reader with a more thorough understanding of its financial statements. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial position and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the information set forth in            Item* *3, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk and the annual audited consolidated financial statements filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.*

 

This report contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). These measures include net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis and net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis. Management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the            Company’s performance. The tax-equivalent adjustment to net interest margin and net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and adjusting for federal and state exemption of interest income and certain other permanent income tax differences. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income and net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis, and accordingly            believes the presentation of the financial measures may be useful for peer comparison purposes. This disclosure should not be viewed as a substitute for the results determined to be in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Reconciliations of net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis to net interest income and net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis to net interest margin            are contained in tables under “Net Interest Income.”

 

**Special Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements**

 

This document (including information incorporated by reference) contains, and future oral and written statements of the Company and its management may contain, forward-looking statements, within the meaning of such term in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and            business of the Company. Forward-looking statements, which may be based upon beliefs, expectations and assumptions of the Company’s management and on information currently available to management, are generally identifiable by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,”            “should” or other similar expressions. Additionally, all statements in this document, including forward-looking statements, speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any statement in light of new information or future events.

 

The Company’s ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. The factors, which could have a material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries are detailed in the “Risk Factors” section included under Item 1A of Part I of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year            ended December 31, 2007. In addition to the risk factors described in that section, there are other factors that may impact any public company, including ours, which could have a material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries. These additional factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

•     The economic impact of past and any future terrorist attacks, acts of war or threats thereof and the response of the United States to any such threats and attacks.

 

•     The costs, effects and outcomes of existing or future litigation.

 

•     Consumer spending and savings habits which may change in a manner that affects our business adversely.

 

•     Changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by state and federal regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

 

•     The ability of the Company to manage the risks associated with the foregoing as well as anticipated.

These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

 

**Critical Accounting Policies**

 

***Allowance for Loan Losses:***  The allowance for loan losses is that amount which, in management's judgment, is considered appropriate to provide for potential losses in the loan portfolio. In analyzing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management uses a comprehensive loan grading system to determine risk potential in the portfolio,            and considers the results of periodic internal and external loan reviews. Historical loss experience factors and specific reserves for impaired loans, combined with other considerations, such as delinquency, non-accrual, trends on criticized and classified loans, economic conditions, concentrations of credit risk, and experience and abilities of lending personnel, are also considered in analyzing the adequacy of the allowance. Management uses a systematic methodology, which is            applied at least quarterly, to determine the amount of allowance for loan losses and the resultant provisions for loan losses it considers adequate to provide for anticipated loan losses. This methodology includes a periodic detailed analysis of the loan portfolio, a systematic loan grading system and a periodic review of the summary of the allowance for loan and lease loss balance. In the event that different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, and depending upon the            severity of such changes, the possibility of materially different financial condition or results of operations is a reasonable likelihood.

 

Three methods are used to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses: (1) specific identification, based on management’s assessment of loans in our portfolio and the probability that a charge-off will occur in the upcoming quarter, per SFAS 114; (2) losses probable in the loan portfolio besides those specifically identified, based upon a migration analysis of the            percentage of loans currently performing that have probable losses, as set forth in SFAS 5; and (3) qualitative adjustments based on management’s assessment of certain risks such as delinquency trends, watch-list and classified trends, changes in concentrations, economic trends, industry trends, non-accrual trends, exceptions and loan-to-value guidelines, management and staff changes and policy or procedure changes (as set forth in SFAS 5).

 

While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic conditions. In addition, as an integral part of their examination process regulatory agencies periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require us to make additions to the allowance based on their            evaluation of information available at the time of their examinations.

 

***Mortgage Servicing Right (MSR) Assets:***  Servicing residential mortgage loans for third-party investors represents a significant business activity of the Bank. As of September 30, 2008, mortgage loans serviced for others totaled $954.3 million. The carrying amount of the MSRs on these loans total $7.4 million as of September 30, 2008. The            expected and actual rates of mortgage loan prepayments are the most significant factors driving the value of MSRs. Increases in mortgage loan prepayments reduce estimated future net servicing cash flows because the life of the underlying loan is reduced. In determining the fair value of the MSRs, mortgage interest rates, which are used to determine prepayment rates and discount rates, are held constant over the estimated life of the portfolio. Fair values of the MSRs are calculated            on a monthly basis. The values are based upon current market conditions and assumptions, which incorporate the expected life of the loans, estimated costs to service the loans, servicing fees to be received and other factors. MSRs are carried at the lower of the initial capitalized amount, net of accumulated amortization, or fair value.

 

The fair value of the MSRs is driven primarily by the effect current mortgage interest rates have on the likelihood borrowers will prepay the underlying mortgages by refinancing at a lower rate. Accordingly, higher interest rates decrease the likelihood of prepayment, extending the life of the MSRs and increasing the value of these assets. Lower interest rates increase the likelihood            of prepayment, contracting the life of the MSRs and decreasing the value of these assets. This can have a significant impact on our income. There is no certainty on the direction and amount of interest rate changes looking forward, and therefore, there is no certainty on the amount or direction of the change in valuation.

The fair values of the MSRs were $9.8 million and $8.5 million on September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

 

The primary risk characteristics of the underlying loans used to stratify the servicing assets for the purposes of measuring impairment are interest rate and original term.

 

Our valuation allowance is used to recognize impairments of our MSRs. An MSR is considered impaired when the market value of the MSR is below the amortized book value of the MSR. The MSRs are accounted by risk tranche, with the interest rate and term of the underlying loan being the primary strata used in distinguishing the tranches. Each tranche is evaluated separately for            impairment.

 

We have our MSRs analyzed for impairment on a monthly basis. The underlying loans on all serviced loans are analyzed and, based upon the value of MSRs that are traded on the open market, a current market value for each risk tranche in our portfolio is assigned. We then compare that market value to the current amortized book value for each tranche. The change in market value (up to the            amortized value of the MSR) is recorded as an adjustment to the MSR valuation allowance, with the offset being recorded as an addition or a reduction to income.

 

The impairment is analyzed for other than temporary impairment on a quarterly basis. The MSRs would be considered other than temporarily impaired if there is likelihood that the impairment would not be recovered before the expected maturity of the asset. If the underlying mortgage loans have been amortized at a rate greater than the amortization of the MSR, the MSR may be other than            temporarily impaired. As of September 30, 2008, none of the MSRs were considered other than temporarily impaired.

**Overview**

 

The Company’s net income decreased by $431 thousand (15.8%) from the quarter ended June 30, 2008 to the quarter ended September 30, 2008. In addition, the Company’s net income decreased $1.4 million (38.5%) from the third quarter of 2007 to the third quarter of 2008. The decrease from the second quarter of 2008 was primarily due to an increase in provision for loan losses            and a decrease in non-interest income, and the decrease from the third quarter of 2007 was primarily due to a decrease in net interest income and an increase in provision for loan losses. Total assets grew $38.9 million (2.8%) from December 31, 2007 to September 30, 2008.

 

**Recent Developments**

 

Recent events in the U.S. and global financial markets, including the deterioration of the worldwide credit markets, declines in real estate values and increases in mortgage foreclosures, have created significant challenges for financial institutionsand the economy as a whole.In            response to the crises, on October 3, 2008, the U.S. Congress passed, and the President signed into law, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the “Stabilization Act”). The Stabilization Act authorizes the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) to implement various temporary emergency programs designed to strengthen the capital positions of financial institutions,stimulate the availability of credit within the U.S. financial system, bolster the economy and improve consumer confidence. Pursuant to the Stabilization Act, the U.S. Treasury will have the authority to, among other things, purchase up to $700 billion of mortgages, mortgage-backed securities and certain other financial instruments from financial institutions for the purpose of stabilizing and providing liquidity to the U.S. financial            markets.

On October 14, 2008, the U.S. Treasury announced that it will purchase equity stakes in eligible financial institutions that wish to participate. This program, known as the Capital Purchase Program, allocates $250 billion from the $700 billion authorized by the Stabilization Act to the U.S. Treasury for the purchase of senior preferred shares from            qualifying financial institutions. Eligible institutions will be able to sell equity interests to the U.S. Treasury in amounts equal to between 1% and 3% of the institution’s risk-weighted assets. In conjunction with the purchase of preferred stock, the U.S. Treasury will receive warrants to purchase common stock from the participating institutions with an aggregate market price equal to 15% of the preferred investment. Participating financial institutions will be required to            adopt the U.S. Treasury’s standards for executive compensation and corporate governance for the period during which the U.S. Treasury holds equity issued under the Capital Purchase Program. Many financial institutions have already announced that they will participate in the Capital Purchase Program.While the Company’s managementcurrentlybelieves that the            Company has sufficient capital to support continued growth, the Company is considering whether or not to participate in the Capital Purchase Program, as sources of private capital are both expensive and scarce at this time.The Company is analyzing the affects upon its operation, governance and on our shareholders of such participation. Trinity is carefully considering whether to participate upon approval.Such participation will only be decidedupon final disclosure of all requirements andifsuch participationis determinedtobe in the best interests of our investors and customers.

Also on October 14, 2008, using the systemic risk exception to the FDIC Improvement Act of 1991, the U.S. Treasury authorized the FDIC to provide a 100% guarantee of newly-issued senior unsecured debt and deposits in non-interest bearing accounts at FDIC insured institutions. Initially, all eligible financial institutions will            automatically be covered under this program, known as the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program, without incurring any fees for a period of 30 days. Coverage under the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program after the initial 30-day period is available to insured financial institutions at a cost of 75 basis points per annum for senior unsecured debt and 10 basis points per annum for non-interest bearing deposits. After the initial 30-day period, institutions will continue to be            covered under the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program unless they inform the FDIC that they have decided to opt out of the program.The Company is assessing its participation in the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program and anticipates that it will participate inboththe insurance program covering the non-interest bearing depositsandthe program to guarantee unsecured senior debt, although the Company does not anticipate incurring any such unsecured senior debt.

Under the Troubled Asset Auction Program, another initiative based on the authority granted by the Stabilization Act, the U.S. Treasury, through a newly-created Office of Financial Stability, will purchase certain troubled mortgage-related assets from financial institutions in a reverse-auction format. Troubled assets eligible for purchase by            the Office of Financial Stability include residential and commercial mortgages originated on or before March 14, 2008, securities or obligations that are based on such mortgages, and any other financial instrument that the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury determines, after consultation with the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, is necessary to promote financial market stability. The U.S. Treasury has not issued any definitive guidance regarding this            program.The Companywill continue to monitor this program to determine whether it is eligible and if it would be advantageous toparticipate.

Under the Stabilization Act, the U.S. Treasury is also required to establish a program that will guarantee principal of, and interest on, troubled assets originated or issued prior to March14, 2008, including mortgage-backed securities. The program may take any form and may vary by asset class, but must be            voluntary and self-funding. The U.S. Treasury has the authority to set premiums to reflect the credit risk characteristics of the insured assets. The U.S. Treasury has solicited requests for comment on the structureof the programbut no program has been implemented to date.The Company will continue to monitor this program to determine whether it would be advantageous to            participate.The Stabilization Act also temporarily increases the amount of insurance coverage of deposit accounts held at FDIC-insured depository institutions, including Los Alamos National Bank, from $100,000 to $250,000. The increased coverage is effective during the period from October 3, 2008 until December 31, 2009.

It is not clear at this time what impact the Stabilization Act,the programs initiated under the Stabilization Act to date, other liquidity and funding initiatives of the Federal Reserve and other agencies, and any additional programs that may be initiated in the future will have on the Company’s            future financial condition and results of operations.

The preceding is a summary of recently enacted laws and regulations that could materially impact the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.This discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to such laws and regulations and should be read in conjunction with “Supervision            and Regulation” discussion contained in the Company’sDecember 31,2007 Form 10-K.

 

**Results of Operations-Income Statement Analysis**

 

***General.***Net income for the third quarter of 2008 decreased to $2.3 million or $0.35 diluted earnings per share, compared to $3.7 million or $0.57 diluted earnings per share for the same period in 2007, a decrease of $1.4 million (38.5%) in net income and a decrease in earnings per share of $0.22 (38.6%). This decrease in net income was primarily            due to a decrease in net interest income of $1.0 million and an increase in provision for loan losses of $790 thousand. The decrease in net interest income was mainly due to a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets, caused by a lower interest rate environment. The provision for loan losses increased pursuant to management’s loan loss reserve analysis, as a prudent measure to ensure that possible losses inherent in the bank’s loan portfolio are adequately            covered. In addition, non-interest expenses increased $123 thousand and non-interest income decreased $95 thousand. The increase in non-interest expense was mainly due to an increase in the loss on the sale of other real estate owned. Income tax expenses decreased $585 thousand due to lower pre-tax income.

Net income for the first nine months of 2008 totaled $7.9 million or $1.21 diluted earnings per share, compared to $10.1 million or $1.53 diluted earnings per share for the same period in 2007, a decrease of $2.2 million (21.6%) in net income and a decrease of $0.32 (20.9%) in diluted earnings per share. This decrease in net income was primarily due to a decrease in net interest            income of $2.1 million and an increase in non-interest expense of $1.1 million. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets, caused by a lower interest rate environment. The increase in non-interest expense was mainly due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits and an increase in data processing expenses. These items were partially offset by an increase in non-interest income of $1.1 million. The increase in            non-interest income was mainly due to an increase on the gain on sale of securities and an increase on the gain on sale of loans. In addition, provision for loan losses increased $940 thousand. This increased pursuant to management’s loan loss reserve analysis, as a prudent measure to insure that possible losses inherent in the bank’s loan portfolio were adequately covered. Income tax expenses decreased $905 thousand due to lower pre-tax income.

 

The profitability of the Company’s operations depends primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between total interest earned on interest-earning assets and total interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The Company’s net income is affected by its provision for loan losses as well as other income and other expenses. The provision for loan losses            reflects the amount management believes to be adequate to cover probable credit losses in the loan portfolio. Non-interest income or other income consists of mortgage loan servicing fees, loan and other fees, service charges on deposits, gain on sale of loans, gain on sale of securities and other operating income. Other expenses include salaries and employee benefits, occupancy expenses, data processing expenses, marketing, amortization and valuation of mortgage servicing rights,            supplies expense, loss on other real estate owned, postage and other expenses.

 

The amount of net interest income is affected by changes in the volume and mix of interest-earning assets, the level of interest rates earned on those assets, the volume and mix of interest-bearing liabilities, and the level of interest rates paid on those interest-bearing liabilities. The provision for loan losses is dependent on changes in the loan portfolio and management’s            assessment of the collectability of the loan portfolio, as well as economic and market conditions. Other income and other expenses are impacted by growth of operations and growth in the number of accounts through both acquisitions and core banking business growth. Growth in operations affects other expenses as a result of additional employees, branch facilities and promotional marketing expenses. Growth in the number of accounts affects other income including service fees as well as            other expenses such as computer services, supplies, postage, telecommunications and other miscellaneous expenses.

For the third quarter of 2008, net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis decreased $950 thousand (7.5%) to $11.8 million from $12.7 million for the third quarter of 2007. The decrease in net interest income resulted from a decrease in interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis of $4.7 million (18.9%), which was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense of $3.8            million (29.7%). Interest income decreased mainly due to a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets of 131 basis points, which accounted for a decrease in interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis of $4.8 million. Average interest-earning assets decreased $13.4 million (1.0%); however, lower-yielding assets (such as investment securities) decreased while higher-yielding assets (such as loans) increased, which accounted for an increase of $102 thousand in interest            income on a fully tax-equivalent basis. Interest expense decreased due to a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities of 118 basis points, which accounted for a $3.5 million decrease. Average total interest-bearing liabilities decreased $15.5 million (1.3%), accounting for a decrease of $328 thousand in interest expense. The net interest margin expressed on a fully tax-equivalent basis decreased 23 basis points to 3.50% for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 from 3.73%            for the quarter ended September 30, 2007.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis decreased $2.3 million (6.1%) to $35.0 million from $37.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease in net interest income resulted from a decrease in interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis of $9.6 million (13.2%), which was partially offset by a decrease            in interest expense of $7.3 million (20.5%). The decrease in interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis was mainly due to a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets of 108 basis points, which decreased interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis by $10.6 million. Partially offsetting this, average interest-earning assets increased $20.3 million (1.5%), which accounted for a $985 thousand increase in interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis. The decrease in            interest expense was due to a decrease in the yield on interest-bearing liabilities of 87 basis points, which accounted for a decrease in interest expense of $7.0 million. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased a total of $15.9 million (1.3%), however, lower-costing liabilities (such as savings deposits) increased while higher-costing liabilities (such as time deposits and borrowings) decreased, which accounted for a decrease of $341 thousand. The net interest margin            expressed on a fully tax-equivalent basis decreased 29 basis points to 3.49% for the six month period ended September 30, 2008 from 3.78% for the same period in 2007.

***Volume, Mix and Rate Analysis of Net Interest Income.***The following tables present the extent to which changes in volume, changes in interest rates, and changes in the interest rates times the changes in volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities have affected the Company’s interest income and interest expense during            the periods indicated. Information is provided on changes in each category due to (i) changes attributable to changes in volume (change in volume times the prior period interest rate), (ii) changes attributable to changes in interest rate (changes in rate times the prior period volume) and (iii) changes attributable to changes in rate and volume (changes in interest rate times changes in volume). Changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate (iii            above) have been allocated proportionally to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate.

In the third quarter of 2008, other income decreased $95 thousand (3.6%) from the same period in 2007, to a total of $2.6 million, down from $2.7 million. Other operating income decreased $94 thousand (30.0%) mainly due to a decline in gains in foreign currency exchanges. Gain on sale of securities decreased $62 thousand (100.0%) as there were no sales in the third quarter            of 2008. Loan and other fees increased by $54 thousand (6.1%), mainly due to an increase in fees collected from ATM operations due largely to higher foreign (non-Bank customer) transactions.

Gain on sale of securities increased $493 thousand (795.2%) due to the volume of security sales in the second quarter of 2008 exceeding all of those in 2007. Gain on sale of loans increased $438 thousand (34.1%) due to a higher            volume of loan sales. Loan and other fees increased $143 thousand (5.5%), mainly due to an increase in fees collected from ATM operations due largely to higher foreign (non-Bank customer) transactions.

For the third quarter of 2008, other expenses increased $123 thousand (1.4%) from the third quarter of 2007, from $8.6 million in 2007 to $8.7 million in 2008. Marketing expenses decreased $171 thousand (32.4%) mainly due to a decrease in marketing supplies and advertising. Loss on sale of other real estate owned increased $169 thousand (183.7%) mainly due to a higher volume of other            real estate owned sales in 2008 compared to 2007. Occupancy expenses decreased $110 thousand (11.4%) mainly due to an immaterial change in the classification of certain expenses and a decrease in building supplies expenses. Data processing expense increased $108 thousand (21.7%) mainly due to costs associated with software maintenance contracts. The amortization and valuation of mortgage servicing rights increased $79 thousand (13.3%) mainly due to lower impairment recovery in 2008            compared to 2007, due to all impairment being recovered in 2008 and no further reductions in expense can be gained from continued increases in the fair market value of these mortgage servicing rights.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, other expenses increased $1.1 million (4.3%) to $27.1 million from $26.0 million in the first nine months of 2007. Other expenses grew $518 thousand (13.8%) mainly due to an increase in FDIC insurance premiums and an increase in professional fees due to consulting work associated with venture capital investments and data processing.            Salaries and employee benefits increased $406 thousand (2.9%), mainly due to merit-based compensation increases. Occupancy expenses decreased $399 thousand (13.9%), mainly due to an immaterial change in the classification of certain expenses and a decrease in maintenance and repair expenses. Data processing expense increased $381 thousand (28.2%) mainly due to costs associated with software maintenance contracts. The amortization and valuation of mortgage servicing rights increased            $223 thousand (13.2%) mainly due to lower impairment recovery in 2008 compared to 2007, due to all impairment being recovered in 2008 and no further reductions in expense can be gained from continued increases in the fair market value of these mortgage servicing rights. Loss on sale of other real estate owned increased $217 thousand (177.9%) mainly due to a higher volume of other real estate owned sales in 2008 compared to 2007. Supplies expense decreased $205 thousand (34.5%),            mainly due to one-time costs of supplies and stationary associated with a revision to the bank’s logo and related marketing initiatives in 2007 which were not repeated in 2008.

 

***Income Taxes.***In the third quarter of 2008, income tax expense decreased $585 thousand (30.1%) from the third quarter of 2007, dropping from $1.9 million to $1.4 million. The effective tax rate increased to 37.2% in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 34.2% in the third quarter of 2007. The increase in effective tax rate was mainly attributable to            a change in the estimation of current income tax expense.

 

In the nine months ended September 30, 2008, income tax expense decreased $905 thousand (16.3%), to a total of $4.6 million compared to $5.6 million for the same period for the previous year. The effective tax rate increased to 37.1% in the first nine months of 2008, compared to 35.6% in the first nine months of 2007. The increase in effective tax rate was mainly attributable to a            change in the estimation of current income tax expense.

 

**Financial Condition-Balance Sheet Analysis**

 

***General.***Total assets at September 30, 2008 were $1.4 billion, an increase of $38.9 million (2.8%) from December 31, 2007. Net loans accounted for most of this change, increasing $41.4 million (3.6%) during the first nine months of 2008. During the same period, total liabilities increased by $34.6 million (2.7%) holding steady at $1.3 billion.            The increase in total liabilities was primarily due to an increase in deposits of $77.8 million (6.6%), which was partially offset by a decrease in short-term borrowings of $40.0 million. Stockholders’ equity (including stock owned by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan) increased $4.3 million (4.9%) to $92.3 million on September 30, 2008 compared to $88.0 million on December 31, 2007.

Total loans increased $42.4 million (3.6%) from December 31, 2007, remaining at $1.2 billion at September 30, 2008. The increase was due primarily to growth in the Company’s commercial real estate and residential real estate portfolios. During the same period, there was a slight drop in the commercial non-real estate portfolio. Specifics risks inherent in the large            concentrations of real estate loans are discussed in Item 1A of Part I of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2007 filed with the SEC on March 17, 2008 and as modified in Item 1A of Part II herein.

At September 30, 2008, total non-performing assets increased $26.5 million (201.5%) to $39.6 million from $13.2 million at December 31, 2007, primarily due to increases in non-performing loans of $24.9 million. Non-performing loans increased in large part from the placement of a single large commercial real estate relationship into non-accrual status in May 2008. The collateral on the            commercial real estate relationship has been recently appraised at $32.0 million, with a total loan balance of $20.5 million (with $16.0 million included in the preceding table, and $4.5 million due to another participating lender). No specific reserve has been allocated to this relationship, as management believes the collateral is currently sufficient to cover the outstanding loans. In addition to this $16.0 million commercial real estate relationship, the remaining increases in            non-accrual loans were concentrated in the areas of construction loans ($7.0 million increase) and residential real estate loans ($2.6 million increase). There were no specifically identified losses in the non-accrual loans that have not already been charged-off. As of September 30, 2008, all collateral-dependent impaired loans have been charged down to the collateral value, less selling costs.

 

***Allowance for Loan Losses.*** Management believes the allowance for loan losses accounting policy is critical to the portrayal and understanding of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. As such, selection and application of this “critical accounting policy” involves judgments, estimates, and uncertainties            that are susceptible to change. In the event that different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, and depending upon the severity of such changes, the possibility of materially different financial condition or results of operations is a reasonable likelihood.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at an amount that management believes will be appropriate to absorb probable losses on existing loans, based on an evaluation of the collectability of loans and prior loss experience. This evaluation also takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, the value of underlying collateral,            overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic conditions. In addition, as an integral part of their examination process regulatory agencies periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses and may            require the Company to make additions to the allowance based on their evaluation of information available at the time of their examinations.

The following table presents an analysis of the allowance for loan losses for the periods presented:

Net charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 2008 totaled $1.6 million, an increase of $1.3 million (351.0%) over the three months ended September 30, 2007. The majority of the charge-offs were commercial non-real estate and installment loans. The net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 totaled $3.5 million, an increase of $1.7 million (97.7%) from net            charge-offs of $1.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The majority of the charge-offs were commercial non-real estate and installment loans. Additionally, the provision for loan losses increased by $790 thousand (75.2%) for the three months ended September 30, 2008 from the three months ended September 30, 2007, based upon management’s estimate of the adequacy of the reserve for loan losses. The provision for loan losses also increased by $940 thousand            (29.8%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from the nine months ended September 30, 2007, based upon management’s estimate of the adequacy of the reserve for loan losses.

 

The majority of the increase of $1.9 million in charge-offs from the first nine months of 2007 to the first nine months of 2008 were concentrated within the following categories: commercial non-real-estate loans (increase of $842 thousand), residential real estate loans (increase of $483 thousand), installment and other loans (increase of $440 thousand), construction loans ($379            thousand). Additionally, there was a decrease in the charge-offs of commercial real estate loans of $246 thousand. As we have experienced a substantial increase in charge-offs from the prior period, management has increased the provision for loan losses so that the reserve for loan losses has grown to a total of 1.16% of total loans, up from 1.14% of total loans a year ago.

The following table sets forth the allocation of the allowance for loan losses in each loan category for the periods presented and the percentage of loans in each category to total loans. An allocation for a loan classification is only for internal analysis of the adequacy of the allowance and is not an indication of expected or anticipated losses:

N/A—not applicable

 

The allowance for loan losses increased $559 thousand (4.1%) from September 30, 2007 to September 30, 2008. This was mainly due to an increase in the allowance allocated to construction loans, and was largely offset by a decrease in the allocation for commercial non-real estate loans. The allocation for construction loans increased $3.1 million (94.6%) from September 30, 2007 to            September 30, 2008, mainly due to an increase in the allocation in historical loss experience (based on migration analysis) of $3.1 million. The allocation for commercial non-real estate loans decreased by $3.0 million (58.2%), mainly due to a decrease in the allocation for specifically identified loans. This decrease was due to the analysis of the source of repayment of one large non-performing commercial loan, which was determined to be in excess of the balance owed on this loan            For further information, please see discussion in “Critical Accounting Policies—Allowance for Loan Losses” above.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms of the loan agreement, including both principal and interest. The impairment amount of the loan is equal to the recorded investment in the loan less the net fair value. The bank generally uses            one of three methods to measure impairment; the fair value of the collateral less disposition costs, the present value of expected future cash flows method, or the observable market price of a loan method. The impairment amount above collateral value is normally charged to the allowance for loan and lease losses in the quarter it is identified. Total loans which were deemed to have been impaired as of September 30, 2008 were $38.4 million. Collateral associated with these impaired            loans (less estimated selling costs) exceeded this amount, so there are no specifically identified losses allocated in the reserve for loan losses.

 

Restructured loans are defined as those loans whose terms have been modified, because of a deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower, to provide for a reduction of either interest or principal, regardless of whether such loans are secured or unsecured, regardless of whether such credits are guaranteed by the government or others, and regardless of the effective interest            rate on such credits. Such a loan is considered restructured until paid in full. However, a loan that is restructured with an interest rate similar to current market interest rates and is in compliance with the modified terms need not be reported as restructured year after the year in which it was restructured. Total loans which were considered restructured as of September 30, 2008 totaled $5.6 million.

 

The Bank anticipates the volume of commercial real estate and construction loans to continue to decline. Overall, management’s outlook for the New Mexico economy in 2008 is expected to be moderate and one of restrained growth. Nonfarm employment growth reached only 0.9% in 2007, and is expected to reach only 1.0% in 2008. Housing construction overall is expected to remain            depressed throughout the remainder of 2008, but experience a modest recovery toward the middle of 2009.

 

Additions to the allowance for loan losses, which are charged to earnings through the provision for loan losses, are determined based on a variety of factors, as indicated above. Although the Company believes the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to cover probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio, there can be no assurance that the allowance will prove sufficient to cover            actual loan losses.

 

***Potential Problem Loans.***The Company utilizes an internal asset classification system as a means of reporting problem and potential problem assets. At scheduled Board of Directors meetings every quarter, a list of total adversely classified assets is presented, showing OREO, other repossessed assets, and all loans listed as            “Substandard,” “Doubtful” and “Loss.”  All non-accrual loans are classed either as “Substandard” or “Doubtful” and are thus included in total adversely classified assets. A separate watch list of loans classified as “Special Mention” is also presented. An asset is classified Substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged,            if any. Substandard assets have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize liquidation of the debt. There is a distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified Substandard, but weaknesses are so pronounced that collection or liquidation is highly questionable and improbable. Assets classified as Loss are those considered uncollectible and viewed as            non-bankable assets worthy of charge-off. Special Mention Assets are those that have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date.

The Company’s determinations as to the classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation allowances are subject to review by the Bank’s primary regulators, which can order the establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances. The OCC, in conjunction with the other federal banking agencies, has adopted an interagency policy statement on the            allowance for loan losses. The policy statement provides guidance for financial institutions on both the responsibilities of management for the assessment and establishment of adequate allowances and guidance for banking agency examiners to use in determining the adequacy of general valuation guidelines. Generally, the policy statement recommends that (i) institutions have effective systems and controls to identify, monitor and address asset quality problems;            (ii) management analyze all significant factors that affect the collectability of the portfolio in a reasonable manner; and (iii) management establish acceptable allowance evaluation processes that meet the objectives set forth in the policy statement. Management believes it establish an adequate allowance for probable loan losses. The Company analyzes its process regularly with modifications made as necessary, and reports those results quarterly at Board of Directors            meetings. However, there can be no assurance that regulators, in reviewing the Company’s loan portfolio, will not request the Company to materially increase its allowance for loan losses. Although management believes that adequate specific and general loan loss allowances have been established, actual losses are dependent upon future events and, as such, further additions to the level of specific and general loan loss allowances may become necessary.

 

The following table shows the amounts of adversely classified assets and special mention loans as of the periods indicated:

Total adversely classified assets as of September 30, 2008 were $78.4 million, or 5.5% of total assets. This was an increase of $57.0 million (266.5%) from September 30, 2007 to September 30, 2008. The main reason for the increase was an increase in loans classified as substandard of $58.2 million. The Company believes it has adequate collateral as security for these loans, as any            loans that are collateral-dependent for repayment have been charged down to the value of the collateral less selling costs. Other real estate owned increased $1.0 million largely due to the addition of three single family residential properties. Doubtful loans decreased $2.8 million, as management has been aggressive in charging off assets with improbable chances at liquidation. Special mention loans increased $17.0 million (199.1%) between September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2008,            to 1.8% of total assets, primarily due to downgrades of construction, land development and residential real estate credits from pass grades. Management believes that the collateral is currently sufficient to cover these loan balances.

 

Management is carefully monitoring the adversely classified assets it has in its portfolio. Management believes the increase in classified assets is a result of current national and regional economic difficulties, particularly in the area of real estate financing. Although we do not have exposure from subprime mortgages, we have significant concentrations in real estate lending            (through construction, residential and commercial loans). Though the New Mexico real estate environment is currently more favorable than most areas of the nation, there is still a concern that real estate values may stagnate or fall within our market areas. As a result, we will continue to closely monitor market conditions, our loan portfolio and make any adjustments to our allowance for loan losses deemed necessary to adequately provide for our exposure in these areas.

**Sources of Funds**

 

***Liquidity and Sources of Capital***

 

The Company’s cash flows are comprised of three classifications: cash flows from operating activities, cash flows from investing activities and cash flows from financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $23.7 million and $19.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007, respectively. Net cash provided by operating            activities increased $3.8 million in the first nine months of 2008 compared to the first nine months of 2007 largely due to an increase in the origination of loans held for sale, net of sales, of $3.7 million. Net cash used in investing activities was $41.1 million and $100.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007, respectively. The $59.2 million decrease in cash used in investing activities was largely due to an increase in cash provided by the            sale of investment securities of $34.2 million. In addition, there was a decrease in cash used in the purchase of investment securities of $13.2 million. There was also a decrease of cash used in the funding of loans of $7.4 million, net of repayments. Net cash provided by financing activities was $31.6 million and $56.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007, respectively. The $25.0 million decrease in cash provided by financing activities was            mainly due to an increase in cash used in the repayment of borrowings of $39.3 million, which was partially offset by an increase in the cash provided by the increase in deposits of $13.6 million.

 

The most significant growth in deposits from December 31, 2007 to September 30, 2008 occurred in savings accounts ($52.6 million) and NOW accounts ($31.7 million), with smaller growth in demand deposits ($16.6 million) and time deposits under $100,000 ($739 thousand). There was a decline in time deposits over $100,000 ($23.4 million) and money market deposits ($500 thousand).            Customers have been keeping deposits in non-maturity deposits in an apparent need for more liquidity. We have seen this change from maturing to non-maturing deposits result in a slight increase in deposits.

 

In the event that additional short-term liquidity is needed, we have established relationships with several large regional banks to provide short-term borrowings in the form of federal funds purchases. We have borrowed, and management believes that we could again borrow, $112.0 million for a short time from these banks on a collective basis. Additionally, we are a member of the            FHLB and have the ability to borrow from the FHLB up to a total of $270.1 million in additional funds. As a contingency plan for significant funding needs, the Asset/Liability Management committee may also consider the sale of investment securities, selling securities under agreement to repurchase, sale of certain loans and/or the temporary curtailment of lending activities.

 

At September 30, 2008 Trinity’s total risk-based capital ratio was 12.24%, the Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 10.59%, and the Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio was 8.81%. At December 31, 2007, Trinity’s total risk-based capital ratio was 12.11%, the Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 10.32%, and the Tier 1 capital to average assets            ratio was 8.19%.

 

At September 30, 2008, the Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio was 11.83%, the Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 10.62%, and the Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio was 8.83%. At December 31, 2007, the Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio was 11.60%, the Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 10.40%, and the Tier 1 capital to average assets            ratio was 8.25%. The Bank was categorized as “well-capitalized” under Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation regulations at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

 

At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, Trinity’s book value per common share was $14.26 and $13.58, respectively.

**Item** **3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

 

**Asset Liability Management**

 

Our net interest income is subject to “interest rate risk” to the extent that it can vary based on changes in the general level of interest rates. It is our policy to maintain an acceptable level of interest rate risk over a range of possible changes in interest rates while remaining responsive to market demand for loan and deposit products. The strategy we employ to            manage our interest rate risk is to measure our risk using an asset/liability simulation model and adjust the maturity of securities in its investment portfolio to manage that risk.

 

Interest rate risk can also be measured by analyzing the extent to which the repricing of assets and liabilities are mismatched to create an interest sensitivity “gap.” An asset or liability is considered to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the            difference between the amount of interest earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of interest bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that same time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets.            During a period of rising interest rates, therefore, a negative gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income. Conversely, during a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap position would tend to result in an increase in net interest income.

 

The following tables set forth the amounts of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities outstanding at September 30, 2008, which we anticipate, based upon certain assumptions, to reprice or mature in each of the future time periods shown. Except as stated below, the amount of assets and liabilities shown which reprice or mature during a particular period were determined            based on the earlier of the term to repricing or the term to repayment of the asset or liability. These tables are intended to provide an approximation of the projected repricing of assets and liabilities at September 30, 2008 on the basis of contractual maturities and scheduled rate adjustments within a three-month period and subsequent selected time intervals. The loan amounts in the table reflect principal balances expected to be reinvested and/or repriced as a result of            contractual amortization and rate adjustments on adjustable-rate loans. The contractual maturities and amortization of loans and investment securities reflect modest prepayment assumptions. While NOW, money market and savings deposit accounts have adjustable rates, it is assumed that the interest rates on these accounts will not adjust immediately to changes in other interest rates. Therefore, the table is calculated assuming that these accounts will reprice based upon an historical            analysis of decay rates of these particular accounts, with repricing assigned to these accounts from 1 to 10 months.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market            interest rates, while interest rates on other types of assets may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table. Therefore, we do not rely solely on a gap analysis to manage our interest rate risk, but rather we use what we believe to be the more reliable simulation model relating to changes in net interest            income.

Based on simulation modeling at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, our net interest income would change over a one-year time period due to changes in interest rates as follows:

 

| **Change in Net Interest Income Over One Year Horizon** |   |

| +2.00                                                   | %      |   | $ | (443 | ) |   |   | 0.88 | % |   |   | $ | 3,823 |   |   |   | 7.60 | % |
| +1.00                                                   |   |   |   | 75 |   |   |   | 0.15 |   |   |   |   | 1,997 |   |   |   | 3.97 |   |
| (1.00                                                   | )      |   |   | (2,044 | ) |   |   | (4.06 | ) |   |   |   | (2,148 | ) |   |   | (4.27 | ) |
| (2.00                                                   | )      |   |   | (3,031 | ) |   |   | (6.02 | ) |   |   |   | (3,174 | ) |   |   | (6.31 | ) |

 

Our simulations used assume the following:

 

|   | 1. | Changes in interest rates are immediate. |
|--------|----|------------------------------------------|

 

|   | 2. | It is our policy that interest rate exposure due to a 2% interest rate rise or fall be limited to 15% of our annual net interest income, as forecasted by the simulation model. As demonstrated by the table above, our interest rate risk exposure was within this policy at September 30, 2008. |
|--------|----|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

 

Changes in net interest income between the periods above reflect changes in the composition of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, related interest rates, repricing frequencies, and the fixed or variable characteristics of the interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. Projections of income given by the model are not actual predictions, but rather            show our relative interest rate risk. Actual interest income may vary from model projections.

 

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures.**

 

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

 

We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify our financial reports and to other members of senior management and the board of directors and to ensure that information that is required to be disclosed in reports we file with the SEC            is properly and timely recorded, processed, summarized and reported. A review and evaluation was performed by our management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2008 pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon and as of the date of that review            and evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2008.

 

**Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.**

 

There have been no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that have affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

| (1) | In July 2008, a former employee exercised the put options on shares owned in the Employee Stock Ownership Plan.  Under this put option, Trinity has up to five years to repurchase the shares from the participants at the last appraised value of the stock.  Trinity elected to repurchase these shares immediately from the plan participant.                             Total shares repurchased by Trinity under the put option were 1,561. |
